'It's not recommended by the doctors to test blood for type 2 diabetes' I was told this morning. I said that it was recommended by this site and she said that it was nonsense. 'Diet will be ample and we will test you every 3 months and put you on metaformin if need be'. I DON'T WANT TO GO ON MEDICATION. So it looks like I will be buying my own test strips. I asked how I was to know that the food I was eating was lowering my sugar levels? She said I would find out every 3 months.... THAT IS NO BEEP BEEP GOOD TO ME :x The Dr said she's diabetic and eats a healthy diet. Well its not working as she's very very overweight, I know that sounds bitchy, but I feel it at the moment :x
So its onto ebay and the internet to look for cheaper test strips instead of the £23 + at boots.
The other Dr's practice does give out strips as a diabetic at work gets them. But that practice isn't taking on any more patients so I can't change.
Will write to the practice manager, quoting as much info as I can. Will not see that Dr again if I can help it.
